I’ve been bad and haven’t really been posting in quite some time. Life has been challenging as my wife hasn’t been working and my son is still growing up at the regular pace. However my wife just got a job the other day and starts this week, so hopefully things will pick up and get better. Meaning I will feel more creative (with less stress) and the Orange will be more populated.

This last year has been quite a dozy of one.I quit blogging for a while, starting writing some short stories (maybe I will post them up here sometime) and began reading.A lot.I played some video games, and watched a lot of movies.I got a new job, lost it, and got a new one.My wife is pregnant (thank God) and we’ve had a strange roller coaster ride with that one.My aunt Karen got cancer last year this time, and just a few days ago we lost her.Her memorial was this last Saturday.And through all of this I have felt something lacking.I tried to fill it with so much, but I couldn’t discover what it was.

It was YOU!Oh Leaky Orange where did I go?What did I think I could find?I missed you so much.

Well I know it seems to be my reoccurring message here, but this time I’m back.I have the time and am very motivated to re-spark our relationship to its fullest.

This is another great post that I found about life and us living it. Lets have a good read, and maybe a laugh. (I didn’t write this.)

1. The badness of a movie is directly proportional to the number of helicopters in it.

2. You will never find anybody who can give you a clear and compelling reason why we observe daylight-saving time.

3. You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests you think she’s pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

4. The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above-average drivers.

5. There comes a time when you should stop expecting other people to make a big deal about your birthday. That time is: age 11.

6. There is a very fine line between “hobby” and “mental illness.”

7. People who want to share their religious views with you almost never want you to share yours with them.

8. If you had to identify, in one word, the reason why the human race has not achieved, and never will achieve, its full potential, that word would be “meetings.”

9. The main accomplishment of almost all organized protests is to annoy people who are not in them.

10. If there really is a God who created the entire universe with all of its glories, and he decides to deliver a message to humanity, he will NOT use as his messenger a person on cable TV with a bad hairstyle or in some cases, really bad make-up too.

11. You should not confuse your career with your life.

12. A person who is nice to you, but rude to the waiter/janitor, is not a nice person.

13. No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.

14. When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.
